Due to homophobia, young people who are questioning their sexuality or gender identity, and gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender youth face disproportionate rates of harassment and mistreatment in their schools and communities.

This FREE workshop will explore best practices in evaluating the risks youth are faced with in educational environments, and will explore effective interventions as well as strategies through which staff may foster resilience and improve service delivery for this underserved population.
